In the album version and in some of the concert videos, you can hear him quietly sobbing as the song ends. It's haunting, but beautiful.

I love Sleep Token because I think he's introducing a lot of metalheads to this type of vocal that you'd usually only hear in something like Pop or R&B. It's beautiful and I love the genre-bending he does.

@Bonz-vc8zd 2 жыл бұрын

I agree. You hit the nail on the head. My wife is a big BIG Taylor swift fan. She does not like metal. But she actually appreciates Sleep Token and rocks out to their music. So that says something for a modern metal band

@@cameronwhite9286 I'd say Periphery is another band that does this. Lune, Satellites, Flatline, Stranger Things. All very melodic, and heavy when they need to be. Nothing like Tool or Sleep Token, but they're a wonderful melding of heavy extreme vocals and clean clean melodies all the same.

the coolest thing about this band is that technically vessel isn't even the one that is entirely responsible for the music from what I read vessel is influenced by a deity called sleep I believe all of the band members worship it but it only reveals itself to vessel I could be wrong about this because obviously I don't know the band personally but still that's pretty f#ck!ng cool especially because it seems like everything this band touches turns to gold

@RespiteofChampions Жыл бұрын

6:40 It IS imperfect. Because it was meant to be. It is an emotional song coming from a place of pure emotion, plus this was from their debut album, so I wouldn't put it past Vessel if he never had any true vocal training and he was just absolutely using his raw vocal chords and using his emotion to guide his voice instead of the usual techniques to protect them. It just makes it sound real and raw because it IS. And that's the beauty of this song, man.
